Abstract: The device for measuring the density or viscosity of a fluid flowing in a closed passage (2) includes a rotor (5) whose speed of rotation is directly dependent on the rate of flow of the fluid. The rotor (5) is connected to an activatable and deactivatable brake means (13, 14, 15) which has an adjustable braking force. Depending on the setting of the brake means, the brake is operative to cause a greater or smaller lag in the rotary speed of the rotor (5) in relation to an unbraked rotor (5) or a rotor braked with a smaller force. The measuring means (9, 10, 11, 12) is operative to determine the resultant different rotational speeds of the rotor (5), and the difference in these speeds is a measurement of the viscosity and/or density of the fluid.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring a parameter of a test gas in isolation from gas pressure fluctuations. A pump draws the test gas through an air capacitor into a sensor, storing the gas in the capacitor. A valve closes a fluid flow path which admits the test gas to the air capacitor and opens a fluid flow path between the air capacitor and a constant pressure alternate gas source, isolating the air capacitor and the sensor from pressure fluctuations in the test gas. The air capacitor prevents any mixing of the test gas with the alternate gas until measurement of the unknown parameter has been accomplished.

Abstract: An imaging screen (12) for an (auto)- radiographic process, i.e. for detecting and storing information corresponding to the pattern of emission from an electrophoresis gel containing radioactively labelled, dye-tagged or chemiluminescent labelled DNA, RNA, or protein fragments. The imaging screen (12) is coated with an electron trapping material (70) which releasably stores energy from the impingement of the emission from the electrophoresis gel in the form of energy corresponding to the pattern and flux of the emission. When subjected to optical energy of a first wavelength, the electron trapping material (70) releases the stored energy in the form of optical energy of a second wavelength corresponding the flux and pattern of the emission from the electrophoresis gel. The released optical energy of a second wavelength is then detected and converted to electrical signals representative of the flux and pattern of emission from the electrophoresis gel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sliding rotor motor having a stator and a sliding rotor which is connected to a shaft and can slide axially relatively with respect to the stator against the force of a braking spring, the shaft being borne in bearing plates of a motor housing and the sliding rotor being supported in a rotationally fixed manner on the shaft by means of a deformation element which is attached on the shaft and transmits the torque, the deformation element having a frame with attachment points located on its edge, in each case two of which attachment points are connected to an extension of the sliding rotor or to driver arms of a supporting ring. In order to design a sliding rotor motor such that the deformation element permits a relatively large axial sliding movement of the sliding rotor with precision requirements which are not stringent it is proposed that the deformation element consist of two frames (17, 17a), one (17a) of which is connected with two of its attachment points (17b) to a connecting plate (19) (which is connected to the extension (31) of the sliding rotor), the other frame (17) being connected with two of its attachment points to the driver arms (15a) of the supporting ring (15), and both frames being connected to one another, via a transmission element (18), with their respectively remaining attachment points (17c).

Abstract: A method of forming and removing spacers used to mask lightly doped drain (LDD) regions in the formation of a field effect transistor (FET) involves depositing a thin oxide layer over the active region of a substrate and a gate structure formed on the active region. A polysilicon film is provided over the oxide and then doped using a POCl3 dopant. The polysilicon layer is then etched to form spacers at the ends of the gate and the spacers are used to mask lightly doped drain regions in the substrate during the implantation of source and drain regions. After the implant to form the source and drain regions, the device is subjected to a rapid thermal annealing for approximately 20-60 seconds at approximately 900 DEG C in an inert atmosphere to cure any damage to the oxide layer which occurs during the source/drain implant. Curing the oxide layer reduces the etch rate of the oxide layer for an etchant which is designed to selectively etch the polysilicon spacers faster than it etches the oxide layer. The POCl3 doping of the polysilicon layer increases the etch rate of the polysilicon, thus enhancing the selectivity of the etching of the polysilicon versus the oxide layer.

Abstract: The prosthesis is configured like an anti-return valve arranged preferably in the area where the oesophagus and the hiatal hernia meet. Said valve is comprised of a tubular part (7) associated with an annular fixing element (8). The tubular part flatens progressively to form two joined lips (9, 10). It is possible to form said valve with a wall thickness which increases from the free end of the lips (9 and 10) towards the annular fixing part (8) in order to avoid an easy returning under the effect of the surging pressure. During the passage of the alimentary bolus, the lips (9, 10) are spaced apart and joined again owing to their natural elasticity. A metal wire (16) embedded in the annular fixing part (8) is used for the radiologic marking.

Abstract: Coded modulation schemes based on codes for QPSK modulation are directly incorporated into QAM based modulation systems, forming trellis coded QAM, to provide a practical coding structure that is both efficient in bandwidth and data reliability. Concatenated coding with QPSK based trellis coding and symbol error correcting coding is used. In an encoder (Fig. 2), an N-bit QAM constellation pattern (80) is divided into four subsets, each including N/4 symbol points of the constellation pattern. A two-bit QPSK codeword (92) is assigned to each of the four subsets (82, 84, 86, 88). A symbol to be transmitted is first encoded using an outer error correcting encoding algorithm, such as a Reed-Solomon code (12). Part of the symbol is then encoded (48) with an inner code that comprises a rate 1/2 trellis encoding algorithm to provide a QPSK codeword, which is mapped (50) with the remaining bits of the symbol to provide a modulation function, wherein the remaining bits (94) correlate the symbol with one of the symbol points included in the subset defined by the QPSK codeword. At a receiver (Fig. 3), the recovered modulation function is pruned (62) to provide a set of metrics (66) corresponding to the subsets and to provide a plurality of conditional determinations of the constellation point identified by the remaining bits. The metrics are used in a rate 1/2 trellis decoder (68) to recover a first bit that is encoded using a rate 1/2 encoding algorithm to recreate the QPSK codeword. One of a plurality of the conditional determinations is selected in response to the recreated codeword. The selected conditional determination is combined with the recovered first bit to provide a decoded output that is further decoded using a symbol error correcting algorithm such as a Reed-Solomon code (36). <IMAGE>

In the middle phase, a desulphurising agent is blown in for the main desulphurisation and, in the final phase, those solids are blown in which purify the melt and effect a final desulphurisation and affect the resulting desulphurisation slag in such a way that its content of iron granules is low. <IMAGE>
